A meat-based diet that focuses on eliminating major food groups and beverages from your meals, the eating pattern involves only consuming salt, water, and meat from ruminant animals (including beef, lamb, goat, bison, and deer).
According to its proponents, this diet must be followed until symptoms of potential food sensitivities improve, and then slowly reintroduce foods into your diet
Talking about the philosophy behind the diet, Devayani Vijayan, a method and functional wellness practitioner, told indianexpress.com, "The lion diet is intended to help you identify which foods trigger your symptoms so you can eliminate them from your diet".
Elimination diets, are effective in identifying triggers for health conditions like digestive issues, migraines, chronic health problems, low energy, depression, mood swings, eczema, skin complaints, joint aches, asthma, weight gain and others
Where the correlation between food and symptoms can be identified, triggers removed and then foods reintroduced through a personalized plan.
Lion diet, however, is too restrictive and can cause potential nutritional deficiencies, she stressed.
